There's always something we want to improve with our voices, right? Maybe it's tone... Maybe a better range... Less voice cracking...
It's easy to get caught up in what we want to change and lose sight of what singing is really about! It's about creating. It's about giving.
I'm not saying: "Just focus on the positive and all your problems will be solved!" ...Not at all. I've given hundreds of private lessons this last year alone and EVERY SINGLE ONE of my students I've worked with comes into their first lesson with this same issue.
And it's keeping them from actually fixing the problems they want to fix. The mind simply isn't in the right place.
Let me share with you two specific mindset shifts you can make, and a practical way to apply them with your voice so that you can, yes, instantly improve your voice. This isn't magic. It's about getting un-necessary and limiting approaches out of the way so that you use your voice like it's supposed to be used!
Learn to use your voice confidently and freely so you can express yourself with connectedness and authenticity. Join my free course! chrisliepe.com/free-your-voice/
But here's the thing I just do this for fun I don't want to have to work that hard
I don't want to be a professional singer this is all for me
But thank you thank you very much
I'm past performing now, but spent many years, having the voice, but lacking the confidence to consistently take it to, and stay on a higher level. Could do a lot of tunes great, at times. Effortlessly. But...
Not consistently. Never got it right, played it too safe, only on a few occasions really cut loose and was comfortable enough, so I avoided what I KNEW I could do, for fear of a major embarrassment. I played it safe, comfortable, had fun, but always regret not being able to reliably repeat a performance, knowing it was a mental thing.
that's ok! Most people who join my free course are not looking to be a professional. They want to improve their voice so they can enjoy it more enjoy the act of singing more :)
Exactly! That is why gospel singers are very powerful because it is never singing for personal glory (taking) but complete surrender with all your heart, mind and soul. Surrender in this sense is never taking but giving your all to someone/something so utterly intimate that the power of this surrender is so transparent to the listener who at least at the intuitive level can sense how much giving is involved. And don't get me started on the aspect of singing that not every singer can understand which is the FORCE that comes upon the singer who is giving all. Paradoxically, you get from the Force what you give.....the more you give the more you get. It is not surprising that iconic singers like Whitney Houston were total givers and grew up singing gospel in church. She injected a lot of gospel feel into her love ballads! The Force was very strong with her.
VERY well said!
those who create as an offering to the muse from which it came will be like "hell yeah"
Agreed wholeheartedly
Yeah, but Whitney Houston sure did mutilate Dolly Parton's classic, "I Will Always Love You". Never forgave her for that.
I totally agree. What I've been thinking about lately is how tragic the lives of some big stars ended so early when they started making it BIG in the secular music industry. Whitney, Elvis, Sam Cooke, just to name a few. Elvis's voice was meant for Gospel, not "Hound Dog". The music industry can ruin great people for sure.

Sing like no-one's listening, dance like no-one's watching.
Everyone else on the bus 😧
Live, laugh, love
FBI is listening
There is a Hilarious joke by Norm Macdonald with that.. ill get shit if I type it...
@@AFormerClarity1 4 months later but plz do tell
I have to say , for me to see a video called "how to sing better instantly " and for me to think "im actually going to watch this and take it seriously" it shows how much respect you've earned with how good your vids have been , anyway lets crack on into the vid :)
Thanks for the trust!
Totally agree. Chris Liepe - turning clickbait inside out since 2021
"actually"
I feel this is why I sing better when I’m alone than when I have someone with me.
Your point about singing as a thank you to an inspiration almost feels like a musical way of implementing gratitude mindfullness. Genuinely such a brilliant mental switch, feels like a gate has opened.
Wow, this is such a powerful message and it applies to everything we do in life, not just singing. Thank you Chris, you have initiated an important mindset shift in me as a creator.
Thank you Chris. I tried with my family singing in a choir and hated it because I felt like a caged bird. 13 years later I sing every week and in one year have around 120 songs in my list and growing. I get positive feedback, but I sing because I want to give something out. I want it to be a tribute and not some cookie cutter polished version of the original song. But I feel it (the inspiration) when I sing. This is a deep and enduring philosophical lesson in creative expression. Singing is just the vehicle for expression, but it touches hearts. Grateful.
I think the part about a tribute is the helpful part for sure. If you can sing to someone or something it feeds the emotions the sincerity and make it come over more genuine 👌
And that is exactly what I want to do. I want to share my voice, my singing capabilities with others for them to enjoy that. If they do wonderful if they don’t. Oh well. I’m putting it out there because it’s what I enjoy doing, I enjoy singing.
Beautifully expressed, Chris! Thanks for the inspiration as I'm looking into how to best capture the lyrics I've written for my songs!
This is the whole message of Your Lie in April. It’s incredibly moving and a great reminder for us to be in the moment.
Thank you so much! I’ll give it a try. I’ve been so disappointed in myself and I’m even embarrassed to hear myself sing. I have to turn this outward ❤
Holy crap dude, that shook the foundation of my heart and soul, literally. That tone you went with when you used the words "wheel" and "give", just wow!🤩
Thank you! :) thanks for watching and listening to the song too!!
This is the hardest part for me for singing and guitar. The need for validation always makes me sound worse than when I'm just alone in my room.
This is excellent advice for all artistic efforts!
Man, super mindset shift for me, thank you so much for your no bs videos Chris! I just had this thought yesterday how as I put out more covers and my own music that it should be a selfless giving, not expecting a response or reaction as soon as I put it out to the world. I'm pretty good at keeping this space during a performance or recording, but I notice it usually comes up for me after I'm done that I start judging the reception of a song before or just after releasing it. This is really helping me pinpoint on maintaining that headspace throughout the creative process, thanks again Chris! 🙏🏼🎶
YES!! You're so very welcome!
Every step and tool is important. You are the best online Singer coach I came across. Im listening to all of your content and follow guidelines. Im subscribed and follow courses. Super credible and competent. Greatest way of explaining ever. A living craft with feeling the vibe and use our body.
YES! Thanks for engaging in the content and I'm glad you're finding it relevant and helpful!
@@chrisliepe I practice everyday bits and pieces collected from all the lessons I collected in my library. Oficially, you are my voice coach. In 2022, I will have a lot more time to implicate myself in more evolved lessons and support from you Sir. Thanks for the way you teach.
I wholeheartedly agree Chris! Unfortunately, we live in a society that is fixated on perfection. This results in the art of creation becoming diluted. Singing is meant to be free flowing. Learn to let go and just go with the flow. 🎙
I sought I won’t learn something new in this one. And here you go again. 👏👍🙏
That was really helpful, man. Thank you. I'm getting ready to put down vocals on my newest song. I'm going to impliment this. - Blessings
wow this was deep, thank you. a lot to take inwards here
Love this! Thank you for your creative and consistent(ly awesome) original content!
Good points... I'll give it a try
I'm a guitar player for my whole life I've wanted to be able to sing, the thing is some are blessed with great sounding vocals & most aren't. So how is it even possible for one not blessed from the get with a Voice to create a pleasing sound to the ears...? All answers are welcome
Start by abandoning your own expectations of what you think is good or bad. Look at the immense variety of vocalists we consider successful. Does Bob Dylan have a good voice? Is Whitney Houston’s voice better than Johnny Cash’s voice? We need to take comparison out of the narrative and replace it with pure expression and emotional connectedness. At the same time, we need to start honing our technique and focus on our bodies. For this, start by joining my free course linked in the video description. :)
Such simple, but profound insight... thank you!!!!!
Chris Leipe, you just taught me Dharma in the context of a singing performance. Chris Leipe la chak tsal lo!
Fantastic lesson, Chris. Perfect for any performer and I've used this to get over nerves when I'm performing.
Great lesson!
Hi I've been watching you for years and I finally found you again after a very long time I've been singing as soon as I was able to talk which was delayed because I was premature and I was told by my biological mother that I was either an alto or soprano 😲
Sing your way and be happy!
Heard this at just the right time. Thank you
The message here is really important and something that we often overlook, perhaps. I feel like this is also the reason why I tend to sing with more passion when I'm doing it with sudden inspiration, I sometimes feel like that passion is lacking when I try to record something. Because then, in my mind, the purpose kind of becomes solely "recording" something for the sake of recording rather than "giving a gift" like you stated. The second I say "okay this sounded good actually, I will record this just like that" it becomes less passionate than the initial "singing because I want to sing" thing. Hope this made sense, found it rather hard to explain
Oh my God! Why did I find it just now? I experienced it myself and I didn't know it's a real thing. I noticed I sound better when I imagine I sing for someone but weirdly pushed it away to focus on techniques. Well now I'll keep that in mind!
I love it! If i wasn't broke af i wud totally take your course. Youre awesome
You are great and i love the fact that your favorite singer and inspiration is the same one i have : Chris Cornell. You are funny and humble, i can feel it and having the same inspiration makes me feel kinda connected, i may think to buy your lessons, you deserve it man!
Looking forward to working more with you!
I had always felt that it should be like this...but this is the first time i heard somebody asserted it...thank you!
Wow! Super Incredible!!
Man. That is impressive as always. Thanks Chris.
Yes! I agree 100%
I could hear the hesitation in my voice you are talking about. Perfect to hear this right now!!!! Thanks
Thank you, this is truly a great perspective. Very well put.
That is such a wonderul idea, whether it does ACTUALLY help or not. However, the passage you sung at the end could convince me. It was extremely heartfelt. Thanks Chris :D
What a great, great video. Thanks Chris, this is so simple, but at the same time mind-blowingly good, and possibly life-changing advice... let's see eh!
Yes! It is simple in concept but hard to do consistently!
Chris, what you're advocating is still a form of imitation and emulation. This has to be done. I spent years and years doing this not realizing the cumulative, beneficial effect it had on me because all the emulating has a (for lack of a better word) spillover effect.
Anyway the wind blows... uhm. Great video. Getting into the right headspace is super important. This is pretty inspirational.
excellent thoughts
Amazing. Thanks, Chris. 🙏🏻
Brilliant!
Oh my god I wish you had released this 3 hours earlier lol... I had just recorded some vocals... Which honestly didn't sound that great.
ha! Well.. .next time! :)
I love ur channel❤️❤️ so much information and notes for me to better my voice. Because i havent been singing much so thanku for this
Geez...couldn't agree more.
Once someone told me in highschool to stop singing while I was singing while playing guitar, since then it really feels like I cant sing and my voice might be hurting other peoples ear or something, never got the courage to sing in group or to a friend I've been singing to myself for several years already. Might start thinking about giving more maybe I might overcome this.
It is paralyzing. I still struggle with that
Thank you!
the advice of keeping some inspiration in mind is interesting, i think sometimes as songwriters we do this accidentally when we're writing with say a loved one in mind or a friend or something, and the songs that come from that are always more genuine
The issue with singing or performing with the mindset of seeking affirmation is that it holds artists back that are sensitive to negative feedback and/or criticism and thus they never reach their fullest potential because they are approaching their craft from a defeated perspective right from the start.
Exactly
This helped me especially to create and write new songs.
THANKS!
This is perfect Chris!!! 🙏thank you so much for this lesson. I constantly think to myself during any kind of performance do these friends or family like it or approve? I'm constantly in my head and not focusing on the main reason I'm doing it in the first place. I do know, when I am in the more care free mind set I tend to sing better and feel more comfortable. This makes perfect sense to me that even if it's a cover it's my interpretation of the cover which makes it my piece of art. If a painter was worried in the process of the art painting they were working on they would be worried and it would take away from the whole meaning of why they were doing it in the first place. 👏👏👏👏 You are up there with the greatest teachers in my book. Thank you!!!
Great analogy and insights on your part too!
@@chrisliepe awe thanks so much!! I would still love to take your class but it'll be awhile yet. Unfortunately things haven't been lining up to do anything like that but life is good otherwise and I know things could always be worse. Until then we keep moving ahead right lol
Outstanding!!!
I give my all, to you! 😮
John legend ❤
Dude, that's gold! Thank you so much!
Nice lesson - thanks.
interesting, i love this angle. tribute
The ad I saw before this was about how singing tips from RUclips but it still better than STOOPID ads
I’m an old school kat- used 2inch tape studio type shit- I want to update my home studio basically like what I see u got goin on for a solo artist- a breakdown of what to get like ur studio set up , would be great-
I played lead for Peter Cornell , Chris’s brother and Chris gave us some of his vocal lesson warm up which were awesome
Brain is king, and the attention... Nice...
Love this...
Watching this video i think of two examples of amazing singing combined with giving their all during the performance, to the point where it becomes an iconic classic, one is the amazing George Michael with his MTV Unplugged concert, his mother was in the audience so he made it his mission to sound better than ever because she was there to see him, the whole concert is flawless and he did sound better than ever, and the other is watching Ted Neeley's performance of Gethsemane in Jesus Christ Superstar, i know that in the movie the cinematic resources add to the dramatic effect, but his performance especially in that song, questioning his fate, and then surrendering to it just moves me to the core. Thank you for this video, it applies to pretty much every aspect of artistic expression, but also the art of just living life.
AMAZING!! ⚡️👊💫🎉🤟
Your signing for "Painting something" is actually the international sign for "Please bring the bill...we are ready to leave the restaurant".
Hahaha
Very nicely explained,thank you. I always think in this way, its what drives/inspires me to do a song , it doesn’t even have to be famous. But I do feel sad at times when although it turns out damn good, some few noble souls mostly strangers do react with fondness, yet there are many who shut out🙁. Nevertheless we keep playing 😊🤘🤘🤘
yeah very cool video, id never thought about it quite that way , but thats a great perspective i i think, if im ever in a gig and i start going inside myself , i remind myself that where this sort of thing started was the black gospel churches in america , and sort of try to play the role of the guy who is bringing people together with music , rather than worrying about myself .. so i guess thats a similar thing , focusing on the giving rather than the taking
What's the name of that song you sing in the video? It's amazing!
Can someone timestamp that actual instruction part, please?
I love it
[edited]
Heh, you're not wrong! This is kind of weird, but this is probably the one thing about singing that I'm confident about. I don't make a claim to be a great singer, I don't expect anybody to be impressed, I just want to be better at singing than I was yesterday. I had to come to terms with the fact that my medical condition meant that I wouldn't ever let me be a GREAT singer. I'm never going to have the stamina to perform a whole show or anything. Like I said on your Chevelle video, I survived a condition called VACTERL Association, and it's a group of birth defects - I had so many renal troubles, I had over thirty surgeries before I had even turned eighteen. Most of those were on my abdomen... so I feel like I am *ALWAYS* going to struggle with breath support and endurance.
(My limbs are fine, luckily - I *am* a percussionist before a vocalist, I can wreck shop on those drums, cause sitting isn't as exhausting. LOL.)
But as far as GIVING goes? Bet on it.

So I called to the Captain,
I said, "Please, bring me my wine!"
He said, "We haven't had THAT spirit here since.
Well, since One More Light."

EDIT - Wait a second. You're RIGHT, but you're also kind of wrong, too. I mean, I post videos like the above all the time, but I'm not doing it for the reception, I legitimately like singing, I never pick a song by complete accident, I've got issues so it's cathartic as hell, but maybe I can have something to leave behind one day. Generally speaking, I don't care if people dig the videos. I'm not looking for a gold star or pat on the head. I would consider it similar to doing juries as a music major in college. I'm not selfishly seeking your approval or attention or anything... I'm going for "teachable". XD
Good Advices !
Man , that guy can sing
Freaking love you bro.
❤❤❤ that was very nice❤❤ me I can't even add any vocal scream to my voice😮 it falls apart😮🎉😢😮😅😊 so there's some artists I can't do their music because of the range😮 and I've done this for fun and and out of boredom to entertain friends❤😂🎉😢😮😅 I dedicate I don't know 4 hours sometimes three a day to music❤😂🎉😢😮😅😊
I agree 1000%
I love you man
Spoiler alert for movie CODA
I think it's funny because this is exactly what happens in the final scene. Our main character is not singing to her fullest, but when her family comes into the room she immediately switches. It's as if she's thanking her family for what they have done for her and she's returning her love in the way she's singing. And because of that she got into Berklee.
GREAT parallel!!!
You don't teach singing.......... You teach inspirational confidence, and singing is merrily the sound of that liberation!
Yesss :)
He (and a couple other RUclips vocal teachers) have helped me a lot with there videos. Especially with confidence. I mean I’m still shy and get instantly nervous to do it around people, but not nearly as bad as I used to be
@@alexbourgeois7863 It’s cool, even some of the greatest singers have performance anxiety. You can do it!
*Guys, singing has a lot to do with mentality, more than we think*
There are many mental singers.
i've learned more with you in 3 months than with my high school music teacher in three years.
CHRIS IS A BLESSED VOCAL INSTRUCTOR..SECOND TO NONE!!
Me too
Same. I mean, I'm old but still.
That's pretty hot
That's not hard to do
Such valuable insight. The age we're living in is constantly pressuring us to seek acceptance and validation from abstract outside sources, and most art sadly has adapted to that, becoming more and more unnatural. What you're showing us here is a key. Rebel against these social mindtricks, reconnect to the heart and the deepest reasons for creating art.
Thanks you Chris!
Beautifully said Mr Spiral.
zoomers: haha formant go brr
Yessir. This video is essentially just a very concisely worded set of instructions to get into the flow state when singing, in order to channel whatever creative energies have been blessing humanity with inspiration for literally all of our existence.
Honestly, I wonder how many people don't even know that sneaky guru Chris is actually teaching them how move quickly down the path of Enlightenment, or spiritual evolution as they call it in the more esoteric traditions.
Great type. Agreed. ❤
I had many singing lessons in my 20s and never really was happy with my voice. Peers telling me I was a ballad singer, not a Rock singer etc. After getting married and divorced married again and having kids, I finally got back into a band 30 years later.
I started singing again in a band and didn't give a sh*t what people thought of me as a singer. The end result is I've never sung better, my high register has increased and I now get people saying they love my voice.
I think it all comes down to mind set, and what can hold you back.
PS great video
I'm Older and Bolder 😊

I've recently learned that i sing so much better when noones home vs tracking vocals when people are upstairs (small house). When i go to record with people in the house i can never quite deliver how i would when no ones home and im just singing for singing sake. This may be the most important thing a beginner singer should know.
great stuff Chris!
you're not alone there (no pun intended), this happens to me, too. Though there are moments where I don't care and it works with knowing there are people in the house :D
I take Zoloft and it made my public singing silky smooth and comfortable like when I'm alone
Same bro
Leaving a comment so I can come back and watch this again everytime somebody likes this ❤
Enjoy the replay 🥰
I'll help 2:25
Same
This is so true, when you reach "the zone" you feel invincible and capable of anything and it encourages you to push your limits, recognize them and keep improving through time, we never stop learning, Thanks for this video Chris.
This is not the greatest vocal performance in the world, this is just a tribute
Couldn't remember the greatest vocal performance in the world
This is a tribute
He can't remember the best vocal proformance in the world. It's just a tribute.
Has anyone found the greatest vocal performance in the world? This is just a tribute
impressive
🔫 now sing My All by Mariah Carey
Wow. I’m going to take this info and apply it to my singing to the Lord in choir at church. Singing wholeheartedly to Him and giving my heart to Him as an act of worship. I’ve never thought about that. Thanks!
Indeed “It is more blessed to give than to receive” is attributed to Jesus. It is found in the Bible, specifically in Acts 20:35, where the Apostle Paul quotes Jesus as saying this. 7:03
I totally understand this idea and concur. Whenever I perform live with my band, in my heart and mind, I'm playing to my girlfriend who passed away in 2014, as if hoping to impress her. It makes all the difference. Excellent advice in this video.
You no longer need approval, you are merely creating **mind blown**
Hardest yet most important lesson on singing 🙌🏻
I agree!
It’s so hard to let go of my desire to be loved or accepted, but when I focus my humanity and gratitude outwards, nothing can stop me.
Totally!
yes
